Remember the wooden box with a bunch of holes, a metal ball and a handle on each side? Well it’s on your computer now-aren’t you excited? Yet one more way to pull your hair out. And it wasn’t hard enough, the author added stuff to make more exciting. 

There are 3 styles. First the traditional. There are 50 wood mazes with an “X” marking the exit. Avoid the holes, the electric rods, the rubber bands, the super rubber bands and the electric boxes. Levels 21, 28, 34, 39, 43, and 46 are visually enhanced. Also level 44 of each style was designed by author’s wife, so he takes no responsibility for the difficulties-says take it up with her!

The second style is the Golf style, which has the normal problems a golf course does, 50 levels, 9 holes, sand traps, lakes, quicksand, etc. Also watch out for the clouds and the ball stealing birds.

The 3rd styler is the Puzzle. Find the right combination of transporter pods to reach the exit, after collecting all the yellow stars on the screen. You'll often need to get more power along the way (red triangles). The black holes suck your energy, but they can be useful... A force field will also complicate your quest. 

The shareware version has 11 traditional, 7 golf and 7 puzzles. The registered version has 50 levels for each style. Trust me this one will have you pulling the hair for sure
